In the video, the groom could be seen standing before the aisle in the company of the groomsmen on one side while the bride and her bridesmaids also stand on the other side, in readiness to receive the blessing of the officiating man of God who happens to be the groom’s father.
However, to the surprise of everyone, the pastor started questioning the young man sternly in the presence of the large crowd of attendees, whether or not he had a legal document to permit his stay in Canada, to which the groom answered in the negative.
Not being satisfied with the groom’s answer, the pastor descended from the podium, kissed the bride on the cheek and said that he would not bless the marriage.
